Learning Objectives • Recognize how the pediatric triple-aim differs from adult models • Understand one model of value-based payment and the effect on both pediatric population health and pediatric practice health
Our work thus far… • Outcomes, Experience, and Value • IOM Dimensions – – – Safe Effective Patient-centered Efficient Timely Equitable Improving the quality of care
Alina was admitted with status asthmatics • Aerosol frequency is weaned in standardized manner • Not likely to experience unnecessary radiography • Risks are assessed, and controller medications started in hospital (project ongoing to minimize cost) • PCP is in the communication loop • Medications are in parents’ hands prior to discharge • Discharged when medically ready • Benefited from a non-traditional home health visit
Encounter performance vs. population performance (Hypothetical Data) Percent of children of eligible getting children a controller on controller medication currently in hospital
Where we are going… The Responsibility for the seen AND unseen
“De-facto” Triple Aim Lower Cost
Pediatric Triple Aim Healthy Child Healthy Adult Optimize Health and Development Reduce High Cost Care
What does addressing social determinants look like for a family? • Third admission for status asthmaticus in 4 weeks • Asthma is set off by fumes in her family’s apartment • Family desperately wants safe housing
Population Health Principles to individual care • Team Alina – – Inpatient Team Nurse Case Manager Social Worker Family • Medical Legal Partnership • Temporary Housing
How Do Payment Portfolio Models of Risk Support Options Our Work? Encounter-Based Population-Based

Variable Capitation Model HNCC “Variable Capitation” Model • Gain experience with value-based care mode • Allows for innovation pilots • Alignment with primary care
What have we learned? • Risk Stratification with Targeted Population. Level Interventions • Patient Attribution • Measurement of Interventions and Outcomes • Trusted Relationships with Patient/Families and Providers • Intersection of Innovation & Value Based Care
HNCC Population
Alignment with Primary Care • HNCC Network Practices • Pay $2 PMPM for participation • Attribution • Address gaps in care Dr. Farooqi and Ginger, Office Manager at Clermont Pediatrics

Every child needs a medical home. Who needs universal interventions and who needs targeted interventions? We need to understand our population. Risk Stratification
Top 1% Cost
Triangle Weighted By Cost
High Risk Case Management • Identify the “highest risk” children in HNCC • Provide intensive, high-contact, care management, care coordination, and help with social needs • Hypothesis: providing this type of case management will be associated with decreased utilization and cost
Population Health Approach and Infant Mortality • Recently moved in with aunt, physical abuse at home • Aunt speaks little English • 17 years old, pregnant, now at 30 weeks • Had a previous child at 26 weeks who died • Had preeclampsia with first pregnancy • Finished up to 7 th grade
Community Level Intervention • Team Estela • • • Estela Adolescent Medicine Nurse Care Manager BH facilitator Social Worker • OB care • Home Visiting • Early Head Start • Positive parenting, will continue for 3 more years • Weekly BP checks • Depression, responded to Home based CBT (Moving Beyond Depression) • Started working on GED • Had a healthy girl at 37 weeks
Member Story • Mother called, “unable to cope” • Social work CM and Behavioral Health Facilitator kept her on the line • Community health worker met her in person, brought her to BH resource
But Does CM Decrease Cost and Utilization? Compared members enrolled in HR CM to those members that were exclusively unable to contact – Intervention group: Any member who was in HRCM on Dec 31, 2014 – Unable to contact group: Any member who was eligible for HRCM at least during the period from Jun 1, 2014 through December 31, 2014 – Compared utilization from July-Dec 2014 to Jan-Jun 2015 ED Visit Admission Reduction $ PMPM Reduction Unable To Contact Group 27% 42% 34% Intervention Group 38% 57% 47% HNCC CM Model Effect -11% -16% -13%
Where is the intersection between innovation and population health?
Utilization Management • Relationship building with primary care • Opportunity to screen for need for care management • Streamlines processes – Preauthorization – Denials/Appeals
Payment for Medical-Legal Partnership • Child He. LP – Co-located in primary care clinics – Family needs addressed and shared with care team – Payment for: • • Housing Benefits School/IEP Domestic Violence
Marcel and Raynisha • Both children with asthma • Apartment with mold, rats • High Duke bill so could not move
Marcel and Raynisha • Duke bill paid • Child He. LP worked to end the lease • Family living in a safe place
Therapy by Telehealth • Speech Therapy • Evaluation face to face • 30 speech therapy sessions delivered via telehealth in the home • Evaluation to include: • Attendance • Achievement toward goals
Has Population Level Utilization changed?

Questions?
Goal = improved Population Health, Lower Cost • Population = Children with Molina and Paramount Medicaid in SW Ohio • What payment model can affect change?
Targeting Members for CM • 82% of top 1% members had HNCC Case Management • The 14% not in Care Management either declined or UTR • Average time in HNCC HRCM = 9 months
